S1gns Of L1fe
Ambient music, tools & lessons
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: the Producer Toolkit. Tap tempo, a metronome, delay and reverb times, playable scales and chords, and a Hz-to-note converter. Free, and it works offline.
S1gns Of L1fe is the home for everything from ambient composer and sound designer Chris Bryant — co-founder of Synphaera Records and one half of Ascendant.
DRIFT
An endless, generative soundscape built from S1gns Of L1fe's own recordings. Ten layers (sub, drone, pad, glow, pluck, bells, pulse, tech, field recordings and dust), each on its own slider. Pick a key and scale and every pitched sound follows it. Let the sliders animate, shape density, space, tone, width and tape speed, start from presets named after releases, or roll the dice. Record takes as 24-bit WAV for AUM, Koala or your DAW, set a sleep timer, and keep it playing in the background.
PRODUCER TOOLKIT
Free tools for writing and mixing ambient music, built into the app and working offline:
• Tempo & Delay: tap tempo, a metronome, and tempo-synced delay, LFO and reverb times. Tap any value to copy it.
• Scales & Chords: play 14 scales on a keyboard, hear every chord in the key and slow progressions, or hold a drone to improvise over.
• Notes & Frequencies: turn Hz into notes with a cents meter, switch between 432, 440 and 442 Hz tuning, hear any pitch and see where it sits in the mix.
